Pillar of Fire Alto / Jeff Kennedy

An SATB arrangement for chorale singing.

Pillar of Fire
All at once I saw so clearly, You had come to set me free.
Letting loose my chains of bondage to lead me out of slavery.
And so I left what was familiar in the hope of finding home,
Surprised the road to get there meant thru the wilderness I'd roam.

So in the desert I walked doubting, I would find a place of rest,
Never trusting out there just ahead You had planned for me the best.
And though the miracles were plenty and You cared for all my needs,
Fear remained within my steps, so in love, You placed in front of me.

A pillar of fire shining thru the night,
Keep the flame burning bright so I can follow.
I'm looking higher to the promise that You've made
They're my pillar of fire, when I cannot find my way.

The flame of promise set before me, brings peace and trust combined,
The times I stumble on my journey are when I turn to look behind.
So when my slavery days shout to me, to return to what I know.
I must remember freedom's forward and turn to face the fire's glow.

So when my travelin' gets lonely or there's no sign of change in me,
Lord, give vision of the thousands who've marched ahead to victory.
And as I learn to love the questions, You give me hope I'll understand
For there are days upon the mountain from where I see the Promised Land.
